Out of close to 50 students who auditioned, 15 were selected to a member of the Sparks Dance Team after an intensive summer camp. The Sparks learned 13 dances over the five-day camp. Each of the returning members choreographed a dance for the new team, as well as 3 guest choreographers. You can see the Sparks perform at home football, volleyball and basketball games, as well as campus events like tailgate parties, pep rallies, Homecoming and SE Live.
The Sparks Dance Team is under the direction of Riley Risso Coker.
